Copper Prince ornamental millet brings warm color to late-season plantings, with rosy-bronze panicles above foliage that shifts from light caramel toward copper. Its upright, mounded habit works in large containers and sunny mixed borders.
## Garden Use
The [PanAmerican Seed plant profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/091400001034332/ornamental-millet-copper-prince/) lists Copper Prince as Pennisetum glaucum and gives a 24–36 inch height and 18–24 inch spread. The profile describes the rosy panicles and the foliage’s caramel-to-copper color change. Use it where the warm foliage can contrast with green-leaved plants, and allow enough space for air and light around the clump.
## Seasonal Interest
This warm-season annual flowers in summer and fall. It is suited to full sun or partial sun and can be used in large containers or landscape beds. Grow it in warm weather and water consistently during active growth.
## Maintenance
Remove the plant after frost ends its season. Panicles can be cut for arrangements while they are fresh and colorful.
